IAM Robotics puts a unique spin on warehouse automation
Before robots get to do the fun stuff, they’re going to be tasked with all of the things humans don’t want to do. It’s a driving tenet of automation — developing robotics and AI designed to replace dull, dirty and dangerous tasks. It’s no surprise, then, that warehouses and fulfillment centers have been major drivers…

You can’t have a nation of people who do nothing but consume who do not work or produce anything. That’s called a parasite. There will be no need for your robots to stock any shelves or do anything at all if nobody is doing anything to earn money. If you just put them on universal basic income then it only proves that it’s all rigged anyway because you’re making money out of nothing. The robot doesn’t have a family and doesn’t need to sustain itself. People do. Stop making the world so easy because you’re making it weak. When it becomes too weak it becomes susceptible. This easy path is causing dependency and making people weak. You’re creating controlling mechanisms that is destroying the human race. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Before long people won’t even have their own thought and will blindly accept whatever the AI tells them to. They won’t even know how to wipe their own ass because some robot will be doing it for them. At some point they will be like infants. What will you do with a bunch of infants who do nothing but consume at that point? Plug them in? Oh wait isn’t that what you’re doing now? You are not supposed to make the Matrix a documentary

+tokyo adventure the question is if people can learn to do that , most people can’t , and there is an other question , is this solution not like trying to kill a fly with an atomic bomb , those robots and technological resources could be use for task that humans can’t do and being more useful for society

+jeffrey dahmere true, but when industrial progress happened, some people could not adapt it, but some did… just like evolution… you need to evolve… Dinosaurs extincted, because they could not evolve (learn to live in a new environment)…
People need to evolve to live in a changimg environment…
Yes, robots could do what the people could not…

+tokyo adventure your argument is pretty shit. The problem is manual labor is the backbone of human society. Retail, fast food, waiter, cashier, manual labor, manufacturing jobs, truck driving etc. If these jobs are all taken away by robots/automation what are majority of people going to do? We can have five million jobs in manual labor/retail without saturation but can we have five million programmers/designers without saturation? Manual labor is where ALL the jobs are at. High skilled jobs will become saturated to shit of its the only jobs available in the future! Facebook employs 2K engineers, google 40K engineers while Walmart/McDonalds combined employs 4 million people!

+ForceOfWizardry When the industrial progress happened, old jobs disappeared and replaced by new jobs… people need to learb skills and technology… it created new jobs… it’s the same… when robots come, people will need to learn new skills and how to use these robots… for example, robot pilots, robot users, robot designers, robot producers, etc. You can even produce your own robots and let people rent them… it’s how the things in this world… when the printing invented, the people who wrote books disappered, replaced by people who were writers and use printing to make books… so, my argument is not shitty, this is a fact…

The internet,cell phones and computers have been too…However over time things become more refind.This robot can do warehouse work better than previous robots,which is the point

+Freddy Jones : you did not have to say that .. kind of obvious! but I can see that this robot requires perfectly calibrated environment … if this is correct, then it wouldn’t be very useful.
